Okay, I need to talk about Omani halwa, because I dont think it gets nearly enough love outside the Gulf.

If you never had it, its nothing like the crumbly sesame halva most people picture. Its a aglossy, sticky, almost jelly-like sweet, usually dark caramel brown, made from sugar, ghee, starch, and water, then loaded with saffron, cardamom, and rosewater. Yummyy toooo!!!!

If you ever visit Oman, skip the generic souvenirs and bring home a bowl of halwa

Anyone else obsessed? Whats your favorite flavor? I am team saffron all the way. 🧡
